process-join

Description

The function process-join waits until the process process dies, or timeout seconds passed.

If the process dies then process-join returns t. If the timeout passed it returns nil.

process-join can be used on dead processes, and in this case returns t immediately.

The effect of process-join is similar to

(mp:process-wait-with-timeout
 "Waiting for process to die" timeout
 #'(lambda (x)
     (not (mp:process-alive-p x))) process
)

but the call above may not return until the next time the scheduler runs, possibly causing a delay. In contrast process-join returns immediately when the process dies.
